Operation (continued)
WARNING: Keep all parts of your body away from cutting
area, the rotating Earth Auger Bit and blades, and
hot surfaces.
COLD STARTING THE ENGINE
NOTICE: DO NOT squeeze throttle lever until engine starts and runs.
MIXING GASOLINE / 2-CYCLE OIL
□ Place the unit on a flat surface.
□ Move On/Off Ignition Switch to "ON" position (see Fig. 2).
□ Move Choke Lever to "COLD START" position (see Fig. 3).
□ Press Primer Bulb slowly 6 times (see Fig. 4).
NOTICE: Follow the instruction in the Starting Position section
above for the safe auger position during and after starting the engine.
□ Pull Recoil Starter Handle sharply until engine starts
and runs.
□ After engine starts and runs for 10-15 seconds, move choke
lever to "Run/Warm Start" position (see Fig 3).
NOTICE: When the weather gets cold, please allow the engine to
warm up at idle for longer period of time, before moving the Choke
Lever to RUN/WARM START position.
WARM STARTING THE ENGINE
□ Place the unit on a flat surface.
□ Move On/Off Ignition Switch to "ON" position (see Fig. 3).
NOTICE: Follow the instruction in the Starting Position section
above for the safe auger position during and after starting the engine.
□ With the Choke Lever in "Run/Warm Start" position, use right
hand to engage the Throttle Lever, pull the Recoil Starter
Handle sharply until the engine starts and runs.

Starting A Flooded Engine
□ Place the unit on a flat surface.
Fig 1
Fig 3
□ Move the On/Off Ignition Switch to the "ON" position.
NOTICE: Follow the instruction in the Starting Position section
above for the safe auger position during and after starting the engine.
□ With the Choke Lever in "Run/Warm Start" position, use
right foot to hold the Throttle Lever fully depressed and pull
the starter handle repeatedly until engine starts and runs.
This could require pulling the starter handle many times,
depending on how badly the unit is flooded.
□ If the engine fails to start, replace the spark plug with a new
clean and dry spark plug.
□ Repeat steps 1-3.
NOTICE: If the unit still doesn't start, refer to the Troubleshooting

□ Release the Throttle Lever and allow the engine to idle for a
few moments.
□ Move the On/Off Ignition Switch to the "OFF" position.

Operating the Earth Auger
WARNING: Keep all parts of your body away from
cutting area, the rotating Earth Auger Bit and blades,
and hot surfaces.
□ Start the engine following the Starting Engine procedures.
□ Place the tip of the Auger Bit at desired location and hold the
unit in the vertical position.
□ Engage the throttle lever, and first start digging a hole at a
low speed.
□ Gradually increase speed as the Auger Bit enters into soil.
Fig 2
□ As the auger penetrates the soil, you should occasionally lift
the auger up vertically to help disperse the fractured soil. This
will keep the auger hole free of loose soil and will prevent the
auger from becoming stuck in the soil. This technique will
reduce the time to dig a hole and will prevent overworking
the engine.
Fig 4
CAUTION: If the Auger Bit will not turn in a hole, turn
engine off and remove Auger Bit from the hole. Check Auger
Bit for damage and remove any debris from Auger Bit or
hole. Secure Spark Plug boot away from the engine and
frame to alleviate potential arcing.
